In November our Associate Pastor (Lawton Higgs, Jr.) went back to Chile with a VIM team from Tuscaloosa First UMC.  This team was working in Arica, the site of John Elmore's new/current construction project (El Redentor Methodist Church).  Below are a few pictures of Lawton with the Tuscaloosa FUMC team, and also working with the same group of student translators that assisted our BPUMC team in July:
